Yeah...I'm not exactly a happy camper about this lack of info from BBTS. Just says August. Nothing more, nothing less.

TFSource is getting theirs this weekend, Toy Arena already shipped out their first batch, and their second is coming this weekend.

BBTS? Nothing. Nada. It's just gonna show up when we least expect it. Long after we've gotten tired of waiting.

Problem is, if I buy 'em elsewhere, it's gonna cost me a ton in shipping, so I'm kinda stuck. =\

BBTS really doesn't do info updates unless they have to cancel pre-orders, then they are on the spot about it and upfront.

So no news is good news, then.

I tore into the box when I got home...
All I can say is...

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

That is the most evil-looking frog I've ever seen.

Cool!

[El Duque]

The waiting game sucks, but I know BBTS will come through and as big as my current POL is I'm gonna save a lot on shipping.

[Codeywings10]

I cant wait for bbts to get this in been waitin for ever

[Cyber Bishop]

And let me tell you, the plastic is quality and he is solid. Honestly he is better made than some of the official items. The Bruticus items are absolutely incredible too.

Kudos Fansproject!! I look forward to getting Blast off by the end of the week and finishing the new and improved Bruticus.

That frog was epic...

I wonder how many POL's are going to ship once they get Explorer and munitioner..Maybe they already have them and just don't wanna spend all day taping up boxes the size of refridgerators!:P

[Codeywings10]

If you have a preorder at bbts will they send you an email when it is in stock

A lot.

When City Commander came in, they got backed up like 4-7 days. A lot of us had shipments pending to the warehouse for like 2-3 days. They'll be busy.

I like to think they are expecting this. It's a highly anticipated item that is on a lot of people's most wanted lists. I for one am planning on shipping my POL as soon as I get that email. I am pretty sure mine has already passed the 180 days, and they have to assume that it's waiting for these two, since that is all I have pre-ordered still.

This may even be the reason that they haven't sent out any "They've arrived" emails, they are just getting everything ready.

I still really want this set, like NOW!!!

I'm sure they are, but I doubt they're taking on more staff or hours to prevent the customers from a few extra days wait. I mean...would you?

EDIT: BBTS front page says that the FP sets arrive Friday.

Honestly, I would change a few people's schedules around, yes. I do it all the time with the side business I work at, and around Christmas I put in douple the hours I do in the middle of the summer. That's what keeps your reputation good.

As for the EDIT: Bo-freakin-ya!

Tomorrow...

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

[Codeywings10]

Cant wait till tommorow

[Mkall]

As tempted as I am to hit "Ship" I don't think I will. I don't have much saved up yet so I'll wait until the end of September.

[LOST Cybertronian]

I kind of want to ship but I still have hothead on preorder and BBTS still has august as the release date. Another store has the first week of september. The last thing I remember reading was that it delayed until the middle of august and that was toward the end of July. Someone here said at botcon they said it was delayed until December. It bothers me that we haven't seen a finished product yet. I just wish there was an official confirmation.

[Emperor Galvatron]

Does BBTS charge you when you hit ship on Pile of Loot or charge items then charge shipping when you ship? It's a little confusing.

Only reason I ask is, I really want these, but I have a business trip I'm going on this weekend, when I get back I'm going on a weekend getaway with the wife for our anniversary, and I just had to get new tires for the car. I'll have the money in like two weeks, but right now, it's a no-go, and I'll be damned if I pay scalper prices later.

[LOST Cybertronian]

Instock Items are paid for when you order.

Preorders are paid for when they arrive in stock.

If you have POL turned on they will charge you for the cost of the item plus whatever it adds to the shipping of your POL.

[Emperor Galvatron]

Thanks.

For those who are still wondering...
this is an exact quote from TFSource

TFsource Crossfire sets are in our warehouse! We have begun processing orders and we'll begin shipping them out Fri and Sat!

[moshpit552]

Looks like Toyarena has more of these in stock, I just placed my order and they just sent me tracking and confirmation email so I should finally have a true Bruticus for my display case soon!
